DOORS shall have an option to include disabled users while exporting users/groups to XML

The RDS migration interface will allow specification of users / groups to be disabled per database during migration. User migration will re-use existing doorsUser attribute in the xml schema. However, RDA will NOT display database level enabled/disabled users/groups.
